The next pair of earbuds is always a mystery. We can’t help but wonder what they will look like, how they will sound, and what new features they will have. The anticipation is always too much to handle, and we can’t wait to find out. We’ve all been there: scrolling through Instagram or Facebook when we see someone with the newest pair of earbuds and our hearts start racing. We want them so badly that we can almost taste them. But then we remember that we don’t even have the latest model yet and our excitement dwindles a little bit. It’s hard to wait for something that we know is coming, but it’s also really fun to be surprised by something new. And that’s what makes the next pair of earbuds so exciting: no one knows what they’re going to look like or how they’re going to sound until they actually come out. ..


Nothing has shared a few marketing images of what it calls the Ear (stick) earbuds, which could, or could not, be successors to the Ear (1) it initially launch. The company took the product to London’s Fashion Week to show it off, but it’s not quite ready to unveil it in full or put it on store shelves. Like it did with its Nothing Phone (1) launch, the company wants to build hype first.

Still, it lets us see the design of the charging case, which is now pod-shaped (stick-shaped?) and features a white and red design (a nod to Carl Pei’s OnePlus past maybe?). Other than that, if the new earbuds are what’s shown in the marketing pics, we can expect them to be pretty identical to Nothing’s previous earbuds. It was previously thought that these are just the Nothing Ear (1) with a new, special-edition case, but the company has insisted that these are an all-new product after all.

We don’t have any info on how these earbuds could look once they’re out. Nothing says that they’re “supremely comfortable” and “exquisitely unique.” So at the very least, they should be more comfortable than the Ear (1). We’ll know more about them whenever they’re introduced, which should be “later this year.” Who knows — they might become one of the best earbuds out there.
